Went to the beach today and walked for 2 hours. My legs ache. I thought walking on the sand would be a good "kick it up a notch" from my regular walking because this damn 1 pound (to goal) is holding on for dear life. This is frustratingly typical for me though. I tend to lose two weeks out of the month and nada the other two. This was not my week.

Last time I went to the beach I had a bag of Soy Nuts and decided to share them with a few of the squirrels. Within minutes hundreds of hungry squirrels were chasing me down the beach like a scene from a B horror movie. I'm still traumatized.

Besides going to the beach I went shopping (mostly window shopping) but I did spend that Border's Gift Card I found buried in my crap the other day. I bought a knitting book for Mom, 2 cookbooks for me (yeah I know like I need more), and a DVD of the BBC version of Emma (I didn't have if you can believe it) all with my Gift Card and I think I have a bit to spare for next time.

Then I walked over and drooled at the stuff in Sur La Table. I was looking at blenders. I'm going to need one soon. My beloved Oster Beehive is starting to wig out on me again my fix-it job lasted a day and since I use it everyday for my protein shakes it is getting on my nerves. It's quite old... maybe 12 years at least maybe more. So I guess it has had a good run. A lot of frozen mudslides, frosty margaritas and now protein smoothies later.

I came home and made a Cannelini Bean Salad and a Chicken, Avocado, and Provolone Wrap for Dinner. Here's some food porn and the Cannelini Bean Salad Recipe. This time I made it without tuna since it was a side dish. I threw some diced cucumber in instead. I also didn't have dill or parsley (they've both gone to seed in my herb garden) for the dressing so I just used a store bought Balsamic Vinaigrette. I'm going to make this again later this week with smoked albacore.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.
